As COP29 concludes today, IBA’s ESG team reflects on the future of aviation and its path to meeting Net Zero. Their latest analysis forecasts a growing divergence between mandated demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and the demand based on larger airlines’ planned SAF use. Jennifer Stanley, IBA’s ESG Manager, notes “Airline-led initiatives that exceed mandated minimums demonstrate a proactive, yet flexible approach to decarbonisation. This suggests that market-based measures will be essential for scaling SAF production and stimulating technology investments.” Read the full release here - https://lnkd.in/deJkSspe Got any questions?

Here are the key takeaways: 🌱 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀: While subsidies are helpful (and very welcome), the industry needs long-term certainty to make impactful, sustainable changes. 🌱 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗔𝗙: Under the ALI Sustainability Charter, lessors are actively funding R&D, but a broader collaboration with banks and financiers is essential. More investment should focus on building new SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) production facilities, rather than solely on increasing the limited current supply. 🌱 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀: As sustainability costs may impact passengers, it’s crucial to maintain regional consistency in pricing and to support this transition with “book and claim” policies.
